Trilene knot

The trilene (or Berkley trilene) knot is a fishing knot, used by anglers on swivels and hooks,

which has withstood the twentieth-century evolution from horsehair, gut, and silk fishing lines
to synthetic monofilaments. It works best in thinner lines, being troublesome to tighten in
thicker ones.

Pass the tag end twice through the eye of the hook or swivel to form a round turn (1), then wrap

four or five times around the standing part of the line (2). Bring the end forward once more and
tuck it down through the round turn originally created (3). Painstakingly pull, push, and knead the
knot into its final compact form (4). Familiarity with multifold overhand knots (see page 300) will
be useful at this stage.
